Preparing for federal and state funding changes

Ramsey County is committed to creating a vibrant community where all are valued and thrive.

We understand that many residents and partners have questions regarding memorandums, proclamations and executive orders issued by the White House and their potential impacts to local government.

We remain committed to transparency, continued service delivery and protecting the well-being of our residents. The county is actively engaging with local, state and federal partners to minimize disruptions and advocate for our community’s needs.

We remain unwavering in our commitment to our vision, mission and goals. All county departments and services are open for business. We look forward to serving you.

Ramsey County is closely monitoring proposed changes to federal and state budgets, including potential changes to grants and shifts in policy priorities. These changes could impact the essential services and supports that thousands of residents rely on every day — such as public health, housing, workforce development and infrastructure.

To stay ahead of these challenges, the county is:

• Strengthening internal coordination.
• Analyzing potential budget impacts to guide long-term planning.
• Assessing potential service and staffing implications across departments.
• Engaging with policymakers to advocate for local needs.
• Connecting with other government organizations and partners.
• Providing transparent information and updates to stakeholders and community.
